Rupert Everett Talks Dirty About the Queen

Rupert Everett and his big mouth raised eyebrows all over the Balkans during filming of a documentary about Lord Byron for British T.V.'s Channel 4. Not only did Everett call the Queen of England"well-hung," but he also said he was looking forward to "a bit of sodomy and sherbet," in reference to Byron's observation about the Turks.

Queen Elizabeth II, who we imagine was not indulging in Everett's televised Byronic romp, received a welcome surprise this week when a repentant garden-party guest returned several pieces of the royal's purloined silverware anonymously by post. Sticky-fingered guests made headlines earlier this month when they pocketed irreplaceable pieces of Maj's personal crockery and cutlery.In Saudi Arabia, great pains were taken to assure the government that Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saudis in good health. The Prince has been recovering in Agadir, Morocco, since May after undergoing surgery for an undisclosed illness this February in New York. (The Prince's age, although never revealed, is estimated to be in the mid-80s.) Concerns have been mounting since the appointment of a second deputy prime minister in March.

In Denmark, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary enjoyed a casual day out at the Danish Legoland amusement park with their children Prince Christian and Princess Isabella as well as nephews Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix.

Meanwhile, Dutch royals hit the ski slopes of Patagonia, in Argentina, where Crown Princess Maxima was photographed with middle daughter Princess Alexia. The Crown Princess and her husband, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, were joined by the parents of Buenos Aires–born Maxima.
